Party expre
hassle of pla
By MICHAEL ROLNICK
Everybody loves a party; however nobody likes the hassles
that accompany them.
But if the logisticsof party planning frighten you, worry no
longer: The Party Express System is at your service, ready
to take care of everything from potato chips to photographers
to bands.
WHAT'S MORE, Party Express proprietor Ronald Kuczer,
a senior engineering student, is going to make sure you hear
about his latest endeavor. The entrepreneur and part-time
computer whiz has hooked up a telephone answering
machine to a computer and programmed it to call every
number in the University's centrex system to advertise his
service.
Party Express got off the ground last March when Kuczer
sent fliers around to all fraternities and sororities announ-
cing his new service.
Kuczer then made supply deals with various local mer-
chants so he could buy party goods at discount prices.
WITH PIZZA from Cottage Inn and other items from Big
Market - all at lowered prices - Kuczer says he can provide
a finished party for the same price it would cost someone to
buy the raw materials. "You would pay the exact same

amount of money if you put on your own party, but you would
take the wear and tear," Kuczer says.
Kuczer, the man who brought pretzels to the Diag with last
year's "Dr. Munchees," said he began the telephone adver-
tising campaign because many people didn't know about his
service and sending out fliers was not enough.
On the computer-controlled recording, Kuczer explains
what the Party Express System is and how to order up a
bash.
REACTION TO the phone campaign has been great, Kuc-
zer says. One LSA junior said she had never heard of the Par-
ty Express System until she received Kuczer's taped adver-
tisement.
She also said Kuczer's recording was "unique and ex-
tremely funny." She could not repeat the message, she said,
because she was startled by the call.
Kuczer said his telephone message plays on students' con-
sciousness and gives a "hard-line" advertising pitch: "Are
you tired of studying? Sick of long hours in the library?
Well then welcome to Dr. Munchees Party Express System,
the Ann Arbor outlet for every party's needs," Kuczer said,
mimicking the tape.

It's on a Navy ship.
The Navy has
more than 1,900_
reactor-years of nuclear "
power experience -
more than anyone else
in America. The Navy
has the most sophisti-
cated nuclear equip-
ment in the world. And
the Navy operates over half of the nuclear
reactors in America.
With a nuclear program like that, you
know the Navy also offers the most compre-
hensive and sophisticated nuclear training.
Every officer in the Nuclear Navy
completes a full year of graduate level
technical training. Outside the Navy, this
kind of program would cost you thousands.
In the Navy, you're paid while you learn.
Then, as a nuclear-trained officer, you
supervise highly trained personnel in the
get them fast. Because
in the Navy, as your
knowledge grows, so do
your responsibilities.
Today's Nuclear
Navy is ond of the most
challenging and reward-
ing career choices a
man can make. And
that choice can pay off

$40,500. That's on top of a full benefits pack-
age that includes medical and dental care,
and 30 days' vacation earned each year.
